Chapter 146(1/2)
Liu Wei received the first batch of photos of the selected male protagonists a week later. They were all very ordinary one-inch bareheaded photos without makeup, but I don’t know if they were retouched.
There were not many people, only five.
Liu Wei was a little nervous and asked Lu Lu what the selection criteria were. After all, she had not seen a real person, only a photo.
Lu Lu: "Choose someone you feel comfortable with and someone you can play with."
Liu Wei: "...Isn't this a bit too childish?"
Lu Lu saw that she was a little nervous, and he couldn't come over at the moment, so she had to ask Kong Zelan to come over and talk to her.
Kong Zelan was also in charge of this draft, and she was very excited. After school in the afternoon, she drove to pick up Liu Wei from school, and returned to Lu Beijing’s house. When the housekeeper saw the person coming back, she immediately went to the kitchen to cook, and everything was cut and ready.
Once it’s ready, you can eat it right away.
Housekeeping: "Just wait for twenty minutes. Wei Wei, you and Xiao Kong can go to the study and sit and talk."
After a while, the aunt brought in two more glasses of freshly squeezed juice, which had been chilled.
Liu Wei drank juice while listening to Kong Zelan introduce to her the basic information of the five talented men selected this time.
Kong Zelan: "This is just the primary election. The only conditions for selection are that the appearance matches your age, and the second is that the height is taller than you, 1.9 meters. So the ones we selected are all sports academies and model teams.
People, these people have no experience. After choosing, they have to go through closed training for a period of time before finally deciding which person to use. However, out of insurance, an alternative may be prepared. So, Weiwei, you don’t have to have any
Pressure, your opinion is just one reference."
But she did not tell Liu Wei that her opinion was equivalent to a veto.
"Woof Woof Woof" has a very simple story core. It captures the most difficult ambiguity in love. From the beginning to the end, the male and female protagonists do not reveal their feelings. There is no hand-holding and hug that truly represents love, let alone
There is a kiss - the first pure love film, Lu Lu went crazy and let Liu Wei kiss in this film.
Let's put it this way, after kissing Lu Beijing in "The Legend of King Wu", Lu Lu has set very high standards for Liu Wei's on-screen partners. If there is no suitable candidate, she will never make another kiss or love movie.
Liu Wei is not a professional actor. Her way of acting has always been to wait for her to get into the role, and then she will show off her own characteristics.
In this case, when choosing the male protagonist, he must be able to arouse Liu Wei's interest. This is very important.
In other words, Liu Wei must have a real affection for the male protagonist in order to show it on the screen.
What's more, "Woof Woof Woof" was filmed for Liu Weicai. In order to shape her screen image, if she doesn't do it well, the film will be in vain, so she is the most important.
Originally, there were already famous male stars in the pre-selection plan. However, it is not impossible to find a big star to carry the sedan chair. The problem is that most of the famous male stars who are the same age as Liu Wei have a fan-attracting physique and are bloody. The current network environment is not
It was very clean. Lu Lu thought about it for several days and felt that if she wanted to find someone from outside, she might as well let Lu Beijing act young. But if she wanted to use Lu Beijing, she might as well use someone new.
As long as you find the right director, write a good script, and find the right actors, it's easy to make a romantic movie good-looking, and it's easy to make it popular if you find a good schedule.
In Lu Beijing's words, it is easy to steal Liu Wei's glory, and they have already collaborated on two films. If they collaborate on a third film, Lu Lu is worried that there will be conflicts between the two - not between the two actors, but between the audience.
There will be various speculations about them, which will have a certain impact on their image.
Liu Wei was more affected because she was still too young. Lu Lu expected that Liu Wei would not be exposed to love scandals for at least five years.
Kong Zelan comforted Liu Wei: "You can just choose people based on their first impression. Don't think too much. There are still many levels to come, and many people will pick them. In the end, it's a comprehensive opinion. And this is just the first batch, and there will be more to come."
There are quite a few more, you may have to look at photos for several months.”
Liu Wei believed it to be true, looked at the five photos carefully, carefully imagined the characters in the script, and then wrote comments and scored them.
In fact, she thought they were all pretty average, but when it came to scoring, she felt that friendship points should be given, so they were all given a unified eight points. The comments were all clichés like "good features" and "outstanding temperament."
Kong Zelan asked her: "Isn't it okay?"
Liu Wei: "They're all pretty... average."
Kong Zelan went back and said to Lulu: "Brother Dalu, the first batch of troops were wiped out."
Lulu: "I guessed it."
Liu Wei was given an eight-point rating for a month, and there were more than a hundred photos that fell under the friendship score. Because Kong Zelan was very relaxed every time, she thought it really didn't matter and she was all scoring based on her sincerity.
In fact, Lulu has already
I'm a little nervous. There are many performing arts schools in Beijing, and there are many performances and activities. The military arts and sports schools are all here. The talent pool here is quite rich.
Because of Liu Wei's height, there are rigid regulations for the male protagonist's height, which must reach 1.9 meters and have a good body shape. After all, even if you can train in a closed setting, it is impossible to train a person who has never exercised in a short period of time.
Become a muscular man. Because of the setting of the male protagonist, the muscles on his body cannot be exaggerated. He must be like a person who is really good at martial arts. His muscles are strong but not weak. They cannot be trained in the gym.
This will actually delete some people.
The rest also require normal expression, normal personality, and normal moral character (at least there should be no obvious problems, such as xd).
In the end, those with companies will be better than those without companies.
Because in the current environment, artists with companies will at least have a company to provide the final minimum guarantee for their conduct. Without a company, there is no restriction.
Lu Lu's company didn't plan to sign any more people, Niu Lanshan was planning to cancel the artist department of his company, and Du Haifeng's first idea of opening a company to recruit people was for Liu Wei. He had no interest in these people at all.
Red, he has to see that this person is already red before he places a bet. It is impossible for him to make money from the haystack like Niu Lanshan.
As an investor, his standard has always been that if there is no 80% chance, he will never invest money.
But in fact, his limit is higher than this, but if it is 100%, he will obviously lose a lot of opportunities. After all, there are still surprises. He will only invest money if it is about 90% or above.
In his opinion, Lu Beijing's project is more than 90% likely to be profitable. Liu Wei's qualifications are also more than 90% likely to be popular in his opinion.
He was not the same type of person as Niu Lanshan. Niu Lanshan seemed to him more like a gambler, but he became more and more courageous because he never lost. Such people would fail sooner or later.
The project "Woof Woof Woof" is destined not to attract too many insiders' attention. After all, Liu Wei has only had one film in which Lu Beijing took the lead, and it was a period film. This is a modern film, and she still has to be the absolute heroine.
Famous actors will not set their sights on this movie.
When the screening in Beijing was completed, Lu Lu focused on the people in the circle for the second round of screening, and asked people to go
Take a look at Guangzhou and Shanghai to find the right candidate.
So, the school also heard that "Woof Woof Woof" was casting for the male lead.
But now the news is being kept under wraps. Students at the school heard that the film was invested by Lu Beijing's company, which is very powerful. The film is about animals, but they didn't know anything else.
Someone must have asked Liu Wei.
Liu Wei showed her best acting skills in her life: "I don't know, I haven't heard about it."
But even if she said this, people still recommended themselves to her. Familiar classmates would come up directly to get close to her, while those who were not familiar with her would make a few rounds to find her and ask her to help hand in interview materials.
Liu Wei could only refuse them all because she really didn’t know how to interview!
She had only seen the photos of the alternative male leads, but she didn't know who the specific characters were in the movie, how many roles would be chosen, whether they were male, female, old or young, etc.
The teacher heard about this incident and made a special explanation to the class to help her out.
Teacher: "You don't need to ask your classmates to recommend you, it's useless! What role do you think the film and television company will choose for you? There are dedicated directors responsible for casting. If a casting director comes to the school, what roles are needed will naturally be decided by the teacher.
We organize and arrange auditions for you. Don’t believe anyone who sends a website and email address online and asks people to submit their resumes saying that they want to be cast. They are all fake! Casting for serious film and television dramas is done on a business-to-business basis, with the production crew sending an announcement to each company.
Interview requirements are recommended by each agency. You are still in school. If the crew needs specific actors, such as young actors and actresses, and those who are more student-minded, they will apply to the school first and will not contact you themselves!
Anyone who hands you a business card at the school gate and says he wants to invite you to act in a movie or TV show is a 100% liar! If he is a regular crew member, why doesn't he look for the school? Anyone who dares not look for the school is a liar!"
In addition to schools, people in the industry are also interested in this movie.
At present, the casting has not been revealed. Lu Lu is still using Lu Beijing as a sign, and has not revealed that this is not Lu Beijing's movie. After "The Legend of King Wu", Lu Beijing proved that he still has good box office appeal in commercial films. The last casting
The joke of four years of casting was no longer mentioned. As soon as the male lead of "Woof Woof Woof" was selected, many people came to Lu Beijing and wanted to recommend one of their own.
To those in the industry, Lu Beijing told the truth.
land
Bei Jing: "The person must be young, no more than twenty-five years old. He must be tall, at least 1.9 meters. He must have practiced, be good at dance or sports, have muscles, and be not afraid of tanning, because you need to tan when you go out."
Friend: "This is quite demanding. How many scenes are there?"
Lu Beijing looked at his friend and said, "The title of the male protagonist, the role of the supporting actor."
The friend hesitated and asked carefully: "Can I match it for you?"
Lu Beijing: "No."
Friend: "Can you get in?"
Lu Beijing: "I don't know."
Even with Lu Beijing's truth, many people still came.
Not only do I want to compete for the male lead, but I also want to compete for the female lead.
After Lu Beijing and Lu Lu discussed it, they decided to keep it secret and not make it public until it is released.
Liu Wei's blood is too thin, and she can't withstand the slightest storm now. There are too many people competing for "Wang Wang Wang" now, so in order to avoid malicious competition, we can only keep it secret and hide her.
Liu Wei signed a performance contract here, because she already had "The Legend of Wu Wang" and "Summer", so the remuneration for her in "Woof Woof Woof" was relatively good.
Lu Lu: "The salary is 20 million, before tax."
Liu Wei: "...How much?"
Lu Lu: "Twenty million, maybe a little more than 10 million after paying taxes. I will take the money after the company takes it. You will probably get less than 10 million, which is a bit less. If this movie is successful, the next one will be fine."
It’s doubled.”
